Looking for some help. I have a 98 M3 that I brought back from California. Love the car, but the Vader seat leather is tearing. I've looking into replacing the seat covers but the cost seems very high to buy them on eBay - $800 USD.

Does anyone have a suggested way to fix or recover that is more affordable? I found one place that will repair/patch the tear, but even just a patch is $400.

I cannot recommend these people at all. I used them. I have email trails and the history. The results were a 7/10 for a little while and then deteriorated quickly and looks terrible. I didn't touch it and let it dry and cure and purposely have been gentle with it over time but the repair was just terrible.
